I am going to throw on some rebuilt 516s I have laying here. Are the P4286754 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-4286754/ gaskets as good as they've always been? Which valley pan has best quality?

I am in the process of fixing a botched motor build...builder F*^%$d me over...and after that will use the steel shims myself. By "painting" both sides what are you using? Upon tear down I noticed that my shims looked like someone had "buttered" them with some type of blue type dye/paint. Not real thick mind you. Just not bare metal looking. What do you recommend for the paint as I like the idea of a good seal. By the way...383 with re-worked 516 heads........

That imo equals leaks. I just use any generic aluminum spray bomb and put a even coat on both sides. It just adds a very thin outer layer and helps the gaskets from moving around after the heads are bolted on, and gives a great positive seal. Never had a problem that way in 20 years. Had those shims holding back some crazy compression too. When it takes more than a sweet mullet to prove you rule at the trailer park..

Have done many headgaskets at the dealership and in my own business with great results, can't see why it wouldn't work for your situation. Comes in a spray can.
